Mexican War Veteran.

The wonderful efficacy of Swift's Specific as
remedy and cure for rheumatism and all blood
disease, has never had more conspicuous
illustration than this case affords. The candid
unsolicited and emphatic testimony given by
the venerable gentleman must be accepted as
convincing and conclusive. The writer is
prominent citizen of Mississippi. The gentle.
man to whom Mr.. Martin refers, and to whom
he is indebted for the advice to which he owes
his final relief from years of suffering, is Mr..
King, for many years the popular night clerk of
the Lawrence House, at jackson.
JACKSON, Miss, April o. 1887.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, Atlanta, Ga:
GeRflemen-I have been an invalid pensioner
for forty years, having contracted pulmonary
and other diseases III the Mexican War, but not
till the lst of March, 1873, dill feel any symp-
toms of rheumatism. On that day was sud
denly stricken with that disease in both hips
and ankles For twenty days I walk on
crutches. Then the pain was less vi lent, but it
shifted from Joint to joint. For weeks would
be totally disabled, either on one side of my
body or the other. The pain never left me
moment for eleven years and seven mouths
that is from March /, 1875, when / was first
During these eleven years of intense suffering
tried innumerable prescriptions from various
physicians, and tried every thing suggested by
friends, but if ] ever received the least benefit
from any medicine taken internally or exter-
naly, am not aware Oft. Finally, about the first
of September, made arrangements to so to the
Hot Springs of Arkansas, having Gespaired of
every other remedy, when | accidentally met
an old acquaintance. Mr.. King, now of the
Lawrence House, of this city. He had once
been great sufferer from rheumatism, and, as
| suppose, had been cured by visit to Hot
Springs. But when met him, he told me his
visit to the Hot Springs was in vain--he found
no relief. On his return fiom Hot Springs he
heard, for the first time of the S. $. s as q rem

made complete cure. Several years have
passed since, but he has had no return OF the
disease.
l Immediately returned to try it In SePtem-
Der l took four bottles, and by the first of &C.
tober was well-as for as the rheumatism was
concerned. All pain had disappeared, and 1
HAVE NOT FELT A TWINGE OF IT SINCE.
l have no interest in making this statement
other than the hope that it may direct some
other sufferer TO sure source OF relief and if it
has this result | am well rewarded for my
trouble. ! am very respectfully and truly your
friend. J. n. II. MARTIN.

SATURDAY, December 10Th. the one
hundredth birthday of Thomas Hopkins
Gallaudet, was an important centennial
day to all deaf mutes throughout the
United States. To him seventy years
ago. was assigned by Providence, as in
terpreted by far>seeng citizens of Hart
ford, the task of introducing into Ameri>
can life the art of educating deaf mutes.
At all institutions and ut populous cen
ters, the recurrence of the anniversary,
with its centennial characteristic, has
been impressively COMMUNICATED by
public services and by general festivity.
SixtY>six institutions for the deaf are in
operation in the United States. These
are no stranded failures They occupy
property valued at $7.000,000. Their
annual expenditure is 81 500, 900 They
have constant attendance of 1000 deaf
youth. The money required for their
comfortable support is cheerfully paid
from the public treasury, where no trust
funds, such as are held by the American
asylum. exist. The school term has
risen from four years to ten. By extern
pore and printed pictures. by finger
spelling, by language written and printed
and by oral speech, mutes are now taught
the usual branches of common school
education and the easy use of language,
written and oral And upon all has been
placed as a capstone, the college for the
deaf, so successfully maintained for score
of years at the national capital.

The price of glass eyes is becoming
cheaper on account of competition, and
at the same time the quality is better than

upright citizen and had no enemies that are

not be accounted for on the many hypothesis
that are usually suggested in similar cases
from the habits of the man. He was home

An Immense Raft of Logs That May Be
Disastrously Heard from.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2!-An immense raft of
Of logs was started from Nova Scotia few
days ago in tow of the steamer Miranda.
On Sunday morning in heavy storm the
hawser parted and the raft went adrift 1t
was composed of p. 600 logs, and was $50
feet long. eighty feet wide and thirty eight
feet high. l. was shaped like cigar, and
was owned by New York ship-builder 1t
was bound together with chains, and will
hold together long time. When last seen
it was rapidly drifting out to sea and into
the track of the ocean-going steamers. Ship
captains are much excited and insist that
the huge mass must be secured or blown up,
Unless it is broken up, which Is deemed i'm
probable, the huge raft is now wandering
about In the path Of the European steamers
and presenting fourteen to sixteen feet Of its
immense solid bulk above the water. Even q
slight collision with it would carry ruin to
the largest steamer.
